Yikes, I was kidding on the 50-70 but realistically I’d pay 70-90. ---

I don’t recall what the retail price is going to be, or if it was even discussed. I can tell you protos were a little higher than that, which is to be expected. I’d be pretty surprised if it comes in under a hundred, BUT! it’s worth every penny, imo. I spent a lot (for me) for the first two proto runs, and I don’t regret a single cent. And the first proto is completely unplayable now, because I dropped it 🤦‍♂️ still no regrets. The second run is much stronger and way less prone to irreversible damage. I’ve been beating mine up pretty good and it still plays like a dream. ---

This is why they will not sellout fast. Which is normal for any yoyo release. ---

I voted “NO”, because I am not looking to collect YoYos, I care more about learning to play and I still voted, to help in giving an honest picture of the demand for Glen. I admire his work and he is the Yoyo artisan in my view. No front to Glen. ---

Maybe if there were a pif to get in on for a prototype to get a feel for it I’d be more willing to commit. I’m mostly interested in how it would be with the new bearing size. For now I reckon I’ll have to let it pass. ---

It really, truly is! And I haven’t found another yoyo that has as satisfying of a roll down/wind up as the lemon. I think oasis probably comes closest, but it’s not really that close. The MR85 is just really something special. Think about it, the bearing is the typical diameter of a fixed axle, just much wider and faster. Binds and regens are like a dream. Perfection! ---

That’s valid. It’s looking like a few might sit for awhile, so hopefully anyone that isn’t fully on board, right now, will still get their chance. I assure you, it’s one you don’t want to miss. (Or maybe you do, I suppose not everyone has to love it. I certainly do though) ---

Scratch the potential Dead Orse I inquired about if you haven’t made one for me yet, and I will definitely be picking up a Lemon when it hits retail. (If you have made me a Dead Orse already though, I’ll be a man of my word and follow through, it’ll involve me quickly selling some yoyos though lol ) ---
